Russia’s new law outlaws advertising, media and online resources, books, films and theater productions deemed to contain such LGBT “propaganda.”
A 2013 law banned what authorities deem to be spreading "propaganda of non-traditional sexual relations" to minors. The new law expands that ban to spreading such information to people aged 18 and older.
It also broadens the existing restrictions by banning information about gender transitions to be spread to minors and bans information deemed to be propaganda promoting pedophilia. The fines range from 100,000 to 4 million rubles . For some violations, foreigners could face 15 days’ detention prior to expulsion.
